One-Hour TV Special Examines Worldwide Fight Against Poverty
LOS ANGELES, April 3 /PRNewswire/ --

On Good Friday, the CW Network
will air a remarkable special Life Below The Line: the World Poverty
Crisis. Hosted by Bryant Gumbel, this one-hour program (Friday, April 6th
at 3PM) will explore the hardships of millions of people who struggle every
day just to survive poverty.
To view the Multimedia News Release, go to:
http://www.prnewswire.com/mnr/belowtheline/27624/
"We wanted to show that poverty is all over the world, but also in our
own backyard," says David McKenzie, president of Associated Television
International, which produces the show.
Not just the pain, but also the progress
With a look at some of the most impoverished places on the planet, Life
Below The Line: The World Poverty Crisis is a consciousness-raising
examination of a seemingly insurmountable poverty problem, but it's
ultimately a story about hope. This unique program will explore stories of
love and courage featuring individuals and organizations who are working to
solve poverty in their own way.
Life Below The Line: The World Poverty Crisis will show the impact of
poverty on the people experiencing it, like abandoned babies in the slums
of Kenya ...... starving children in Honduras ... an American family of
four forced to live out of their car ... and others whose existence has
been shattered by this crisis.
What people are doing to help
This TV special also features interviews with well-known celebrities
using their fame to make a difference against poverty. These celebrities
include Della Reese (Actress, Touched By An Angel); John Paul DeJoria
(CEO/Co-Founder, John Paul Mitchell Systems); Sir Roger Moore (UNICEF
Goodwill Ambassador); Ed Begley, Jr (Actor, Six Feet Under); Jewel
(Multiple Award-Winning Recording Artist); and many more
.
Life Below The Line: The World Poverty Crisis will also show how
charities like "Feed The Children" are helping with special programs
designed to feed and educate people around the world. Plus, regular
citizens will find out how they can help the poverty crisis-and how their
donations really do make a difference.
Take the Generosity Test
Finally, viewers of Life Below The Line: The World Poverty Crisis can
find out how their own level of generosity compares to other Americans by
taking the show's "generosity test" (http://www.povertycrisis.com). "They
are questions we hope will affect the everyday American in his attitude
about giving," says executive producer Paul Sharratt.

Well, we could reduce poverty if we ditched that free trade/globalization thing we've been doing for the past 40 years. Thanks to mass production third world farmers can't even sell their crops anymore. (Sorry for the digression).

I believe she takes it to heart when she sees the less fortunate living without. She will definitely be a wonderful mother because of her nuturing characteristics which she already exhibits towards others, and will probably be very protective with her own children after I saw punk'd... take em to the matt Jewel!! lol
